Greetings In The Wonderful Loving Name Of Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ:
Hello, my name is Apostle James R. WinfreeSr., Houston, Texas born and raised. I am blessed and happily married to my loving wife Mrs. Betty R. Winfree for 30+ loving years and we are still going strong in our love for each other and our marriage. From this loving and holy union God has so very blessed us with four beautiful children. Our first-born is Tarsha, born in 1978 next our son James Jr, born in 1983, our next son Jeremiah J. born in 1985, and last but not least Benjamin, born in 1987 all of Houston, Texas.
I have a very diversified and deeply rooted background in the word of God and in my Lord and Savor Jesus Christ, Below is a brief account of my Spiritual background in our Lord's Ministry.
The very first Church I joined was The First Missionary Baptist of Houston, Texas under the leadership of the deceased Pastor: Gene Moore. At the tender age of 12 years I was baptized and served as a member until I was 17. After being a member for many years under Pastor Moore I was compelled to join St. Joseph Gospel Temple, under the leadership of Apostle Joseph E. Stewart of Houston, Texas who is now with his Lord in heaven.
Later the Church name changed to Jesus Christ Holy Temple Under the leadership of Pastor Clement V. Dorsey who is still pasturing the Church today. Here I was taught the word of God and heard about the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, laugher in the Spirit and dancing all the elements of a Spirit filled Church. Here at Jesus Christ Holy Temple I was called to preach.
His hand was and still is inherent on my life.
I also received the Holy Spirit witnessed by my Church family, and Evangelist Mike Anderson and the beloved Mother and Missionary Florence Moss. I was called into our Lord's Ministry at a very early age unfortunately I was not really ready or interested in preaching or going higher in God. Instead I wanted to live my life my way loving sin more than loving God or ministry going back into my old ways, we call it looking back.
The Lord and the Church never gave up on me; prayer was made without ceasing on my behalf. But I kept telling God and the Church I was just to young to live a saved life, I was running from His call on my life. Later on, during my 10th grade year in high school, I finally accepted the call on my life to preach God's word still with old wordily friends I kept looking back hating to let go.
One Friday night with some old friends (leaving my sister home) I was on my way to a night club; drinking, and using drugs I got into a car race with some old friends going over the speed limit was in a tragic accident with no way out. When confronted by God about His calling on my life, I always responded by saying to the Church and God I am just too young to preach and live a Godly life. So while my car was up in the air and out of control, I heard the Lord's voice asked me Are you to young to die?...My response was obviously, No Lord!!!! No Lord!!!!
This conversation occurred during the whole time my car was continuously flipping through the air, because I tried to avoid a collision with another vehicle. That Friday night God gave me another chance to obey Him and to preach His word. The next Sunday morning at service I repented and finally accepted God's call on my life. I have evangelized in cities, jails, prisons, convalescent homes, street ministry, churches, radio and television. During my ministry I have performed marriages, funerals and licensed and ordained ministers.

What Happened to My Dad in November 2005
Psalms 68:19 (NLT)
Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!
For each day He carries us in His arms.
(Stop and think about this)
My dad had been complaining of chest pains for several weeks leading up to the day he was rushed to the hospital. He was also not eating normally, took frequent trips to the restroom, and had the feeling that he could not get enough to drink. We assumed maybe it was a cold or possible flu bug or stomach virus.
The weeks progressed and he was eating less and sleeping more. He could only drink juice, and drank very little water. My mom had to give him substitutes for the nutrients that he was missing from not eating with things like Ensure and pedialyte. My mother took him to the county hospital where the doctors misdiagnosed him and sent him on his way with a prescription for acid reflux.
Needless to say, this did nothing to ease the pains his body was going thru. We were to later find out that my dad was a diabetic and all of the symptoms he was having were leading up to a diabetic coma or possible death, had we not gotten him to the emergency room of a more reputable hospital facility. He had lost a lot of weight and still did not have an appetite by the time Thanksgiving had rolled around.
We thought that he would pull thru it. Apparently he felt like he was dying and was preparing himself for the worst. By Saturday he was barely moving and able to speak coherently. By that evening my mother insisted that we take him to the hospital, as he was not getting any better. The EMT/ambulance attendants stated that my dad's sugar level was at a whopping 1500 and rushed him to the hospital.
As if 1500 wasn't enough, the emergency room doctor informed us with her mouth agape, that my dad's sugar level was actually over a thousand and that she could not believe that he was still alive and that they were going to work on bringing his glucose level down to normal along with the tedious delicate process that it would take to re-hydrate his body as he was severely dehydrated.
Over the time period of recovery my dad’s vital signs became very out of sorts. He had moments where he was incoherent, could not speak only mumble, and while his eyes were open he had no recollection of the things that were going on around him. He also had some involuntary head and arm movement as a result of his vital signs being very out of whack.
The nurses and doctors worked around the clock on him in the intensive care unit trying to get his vital signs under control. It was definitely a life changing experience for both him and the rest of the family. With the prayers of the righteous and God’s hand directing the medical staff, my dad finally began to speak even though slurred, and was now alert.
They had to insert tubes down his throat to get some fluid into his stomach as he still could not drink or eat. Continuous IV’s ran thru his arms and they were taking blood from him around the clock. With his glucose (sugar) down to a more controllable level, he was transferred out of the intensive care unit, where he would later begin to eat normally again, and walk, along with learning how to test his blood sugar levels and give himself insulin shots. A few days after he was transferred out of ICU he was released.

Apostle James would like to thank all of our Dear Partners and Loving Friends for their love, support, many calls and prayers while he was in the hospital, there was prayer around the clock for him. We also want to think all of the nurses and doctors who so faithfully worked on Apostle James while he was in the hospital. And most of all we thank Jesus Christ for His healing!! All glory goes to God!!
